This park has something for everybody! Kids to adults! I personally love the ever changing prairie that grows between the bike/walking trails! The Indian cave area is super cool too! Just don’t swim in the river past the caves no matter how low. So many people have drowned there. Walk down the creek or along the banks as I have done since a teen, with my young kids, and now as an old lady lol summer is great for that. The Exploration Station was great when my kids were little and I hear it still is! They opened an adorable new playground in the last few years! Very interactive! And of course since Pokémon Go started multiple Pokestops! There’s a petting zoo and even gardens to rent if you want to grow your own veggies but don’t have room at home!

We loved visiting here! It was absolutely beautiful & wonderfully maintained. The trails were perfect for hiking/walking. You have to be careful as bikes can use them too. They're pretty easy so nearly anyone can do it. We visited the Indian Caves on our walk which was pretty cool too! Got to see the Kankakee River. Very cozy, nice place to go for an afternoon. Didn't get to visit the animals, but I will next time!

Here’s a polished version in fluent English: You can walk in a full or half circle across the prairies and enjoy thousands of wildflowers in bloom, filling the air with a pleasant fragrance. Almost every time I go, I see some deer. You can also take a walk along the path by the river. The sunsets are truly breathtaking. It’s a beautiful and safe place, and I really enjoy spending time and relaxing there.

Very clean place. Well maintained prairie area. Great in good shape trails. Awesome space for all ages. Could observe native plants that one hour north we don’t have. Could not understand how cicadas were absent there, but glad we had a break of this annoyance. Short walk to the Indian caves where your water dog can have some fun. Note: Need more restrooms.

Pretty farm park... I've lived around this area forever and been out this way a bunch of times. Only now have I experienced this park. This place is so well maintained, the paths are very nice. The equipment is awesome. Walk down to the Indian caves and check that out as well. I'll check out the kids museum next time I'm out.
